T0 ALL WHM IT ,MAY lCONCERN v Be'it'linown. that We, AZRO-M. BOW'LES andl HIRAM PRESTON, ol' Orfordville, Rock county, itl they State of v Wisconsin, having invented new and useful improvements iriApparatns for Raising Water, do hereby declare the following to be a full and exact description of. the same, reference being had to the drawings thataccompany and form a part ofthis speciication, in which- Figure I is a front elevation.

FiguelII, sectional view cut through the centre.

Figure I ILbneket -us'cd in open wells, showing the interior parts. y l

Letter A, boxl or housing; B, shaft; C, pulley; D, crank; E, brake; l", lever to operate the broke E; a, button to hold the lever F while thewbuclcct is descending; y, pawl; h, rod or `strap Aconnecting E and FS Well-ropoor chain; j, valve or bottoni of bucket; crockingshai`t; Zand m, levers toroperate the shaft Zenith; 0,*delivery spout P, bucket for drilled wells.

The object of our invention is to providean easy inethod of' raisingnvater from curbed ordrilled wells, by a windlasshand so to' arrange the various parts as to lravc`the whole compact in form', simple'and durable in structure, and easy of operation, by bringing t'h' Iiwl'g brake-E nn'rierthe operation of a'single lever.

An examination of the drawings will give a correct understanding of the generalV structure.

Fig. I will show the manner of arranging the shaft B, brake E, lever F, and. button a. When the shaft B is being revolved by thea crank D, and the lever-Fat rest, the paxvl g will fall into the ratchet outhe shaftand hold it.. When the bucket'hns been emptied, and it is desired to allow it to drop into the water again, a depressich of the end of tholever F will Adisengagc the pawl, and the bucket willbegin to descend, en d should it tend to do so too rapidly, n further depression of the lever F will bring the brake` E up against the truck' on ,the end of the shaft, and check its revolutions. Thebuttonu is so attached that on depressing the lever F, itwill swing down onits pivot and assume the position of the red lines in Fig. l. This is to prevent any necitdennl movement of thcrlever F upivards, while the bucket is descending, so the p awlg cannot fall, into the ratchet until the button a is liftedagain. Perfectcontrol is thus had of the descent 'of the bucket. Without this thereisserious objection to the` use of the ivi'ndla'ss. The rocking-shaft -in the-lnicket,l together with the two levers' Z. and m, provides a sure and easy method of operating' the valve to empty the bucket.

"lhe peouliarity of the arrangement in the interior of tlc bucket is this: We' place a horizontal shaft, k,

sonic distance above the bottom of `the bucket, the two ends resting either in `the two opposite walls of. the bucket, oron'short posts S'S, as inFig. III. 'These posts being placedfar apart so that the valve'mny' extend back nnderthe shaft 7c, and cover, if need be, nearly, and indeed in buckets of small diameter thewhole bottom, securing c 'rapid filling and emptying not attainable by snimll valves. Y i

For Wells open, in which the bucket may have more or lessvibr'ntion in descending or ascending, the -curb and spout would be arranged to bucket sboivn'in Fig. III. The bucket, for drilled Wells, would be made so as to nearly ll the bore ofthe well.

What we claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is#- The combination and arrangement ot' the pawl g, lthe ratchet on the sha-ft B, the 'brake E, and lever F, and button a, 'to operate as described and setrfortli.
